He does so by removing the hypocrisy out of our lives so that we will live rebellious powerful lives against Satan and the world. http://www.westvalleyonline.org/sermon/acts-5-rebellion http://www.westvalleyonline.org/mediafiles/acts-5-rebellion.mp3 Sun, 19 Oct 2008 16:08:40 CDT Russ Johnston Acts russ_johnston,acts_5,rebellion,jesus,west_valley_christian_fellowship,russell_johnston,monmouth,independence 41:32 The disciples were opposed by hardcore materialists.

They were connected to Jesus and their only desire was to be used by the Lord. We too are created for connection with God but often times we need times of refreshing which comes from repentance as we try to connect with empty things instead of Jesus. The Holy Spirit relates to us in 3 ways. With us, in us, and upon us. This teaching explores these relationships we can have with the Holy Spirit. http://www.westvalleyonline.org/sermon/acts-3-green-light- http://www.westvalleyonline.org/mediafiles/green-light.mp3 Sun, 05 Oct 2008 16:21:09 CDT Russ Johnston Acts russ_johnston,west_valley_christian_fellowship,acts_1,sermons,teachings,keep_me_movin_on 40:44 Patrick Khill wrote this song that touches on the truth of our culture trying to connect in some many other ways besides Jesus. http://www.westvalleyonline.org/sermon/patrick-raps-it-up http://www.westvalleyonline.org/mediafiles/patrick-rapping-it-up.mp3 Sun, 05 Oct 2008 11:35:05 CDT Patrick Khill Acts patrick_khill,west_valley_christian_fellowship,rap,acts_3 42:21 The early church was made up of people who had repented and our study shows us what they spent their time doing. They devoted themselves it tells us to the apostles doctrine and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and prayers. As a result fear and awe came upon them all. They were living for the Kingdom of God. Many believers are so frustrated because they are trying to apply the promises of God to a secular humanistic worldview. In other words...Jesus make my life look like Joel Olsteen's smile. Jesus does not promise us a smooth path of life but He does promise us the power to make it through while glorifying Him. The early church did not have a smooth path at all. http://www.westvalleyonline.org/sermon/acts-2-living-in-reality http://www.westvalleyonline.org/mediafiles/living-in-reality.mp3 Sun, 28 Sep 2008 16:21:29 CDT Russ Johnston Acts russ_johnston,west_valley_christian_fellowship,acts_1,sermons,teachings,keep_me_movin_on 50:40 This is a song written by Russ Johnston http://www.westvalleyonline.org/sermon/faithful-to-me http://www.westvalleyonline.org/mediafiles/faithful.mp3 Sun, 21 Sep 2008 13:34:33 CDT Russ Johnston This is a song written by Russ Johnston 4:06 http://www.westvalleyonline.org/sermon/forgiveness http://www.westvalleyonline.org/mediafiles/forgiveness.mp3 Sun, 21 Sep 2008 11:27:38 CDT Jim Boyd 44:40 This is a song written by Russ Johnston http://www.westvalleyonline.org/sermon/keep-me-movin-on http://www.westvalleyonline.org/mediafiles/keep-me-movin-on.mp3 Sun, 14 Sep 2008 10:40:04 CDT Russ Johnston Gospel of John russ_johnston,west_valley_christian_fellowship,acts_1,sermons,teachings,keep_me_movin_on 3:59 The book of Acts is a continuation of Luke's gospel. In the book of Luke it is clear to us that the ministry of Jesus was entirely lived out by the empowering of the Holy Spirit. Then as we cruise into acts we will see the theme that this is our Lord's intention for us as well, that we will be filled and empowered by the Spirit just like Him. http://www.westvalleyonline.org/sermon/acts-1-just-like-jesus- http://www.westvalleyonline.org/mediafiles/filled-with-the-spirit-just-like-jesus.mp3 Sun, 14 Sep 2008 16:22:00 CDT Russ Johnston Acts russ_johnston,west_valley_christian_fellowship,acts_1,sermons,teachings 49:18 The theme of this passage is found in verse 1 or ch.21. "Jesus revealed Himself again to his disciples, and He revealed Himself in this way." In the previous chapter the guys were glad to see the Lord. They didn't go fishing to run away from Jesus. Jesus is revealing Himself in the ordinary things of life like going fishing. Oftentimes we only look for the Lord in the extraordinary and we don't recognize Him in a simple meal with simple people. http://www.westvalleyonline.org/sermon/recognizing-jesus-in-the-ordinary http://www.westvalleyonline.org/mediafiles/in-the-ordinary.mp3 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 13:14:59 CDT Russ Johnston Gospel of John 40:31 Jesus has risen from the dead and the Holy Spirit is actively making Jesus known to us in a personal relational way. We can only experience Jesus as we seek Him and make Him our priority and hunger. A more powerful word is to lust for Him. What are you lusting for today? Mary Magdalene was first to the tomb because Jesus was her priority. In turn Jesus made Mary His priority as she would be the first human being to see the risen Christ. http://www.westvalleyonline.org/sermon/experience-him-today http://www.westvalleyonline.org/mediafiles/experience-him-today.mp3 Sun, 31 Aug 2008 11:41:48 CST Russ Johnston Gospel of John west_valley_christian_fellowship,russ_johnston,john_20,mary_magdalene,acts_29,resurrection 53:50 Why did Jesus die? Did He have to die in order for us to be saved? How did He die? Could Jesus have just fallen out of heaven and landed on a cross and die and still accomplish the atonement? What does propitiation, penal substitutionary atonement, and expiation mean? Jesus loves me but could I say He has authority over my life? All these questions are answered in this teaching. http://www.westvalleyonline.org/sermon/jesus-dies-for-what http://www.westvalleyonline.org/mediafiles/jesus-dies-for-what.mp3 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 11:41:26 CST Russ Johnston Gospel of John penal_substitutionary_atonement,cross,westvalleychristianfellowship,russ_johnston,john19 52:18 What leads your life? Maybe you're the thin-slicer type who makes decisions in the blink of an eye. Or maybe your the bean counter constantly sizing up the situation.As Christians we are called to be led by the Spirit of God. This in turn will cause you to be the unique individual God has created you to be, and such was the case of John the baptizer. http://www.westvalleyonline.org/sermon/john-119-34-spirit-driven http://www.westvalleyonline.org/mediafiles/spirit-driven-john-119-34.mp3 Sun, 23 Mar 2008 11:41:08 CST Russ Johnston Gospel of John john1,russ_johnston,west_valley_christian_fellowship,gospel_of_john 59:06
